2 Figure 1 Phototransduction components expressed in a fan worm radiolar eye. (A) Megalomma interrupta emerging from its tube, prominently displaying the two compound eyes on the dorsal-most radioles (arrowhead). (B) Focal-stack micrograph of a radiolar eye. Scale bar: 100 μm. (C) A metazoan opsin phylogeny cladogram indicating the four major opsin clades (after [6,7]) and the transcripts found in the radiolar eyes of M. interrupta (blue circle) and primary eyes of Platynereis dumerilii (green circle). (D) A phylogeny of G-protein α-subunits implicated in animal visual systems. M. interrupta radiolar eyes primarily express a Gαo. The Gα clades are colored according to the opsin clade (C) that they are commonly associated with. (E) An expanded phylogeny of the Invertebrate C opsin (InvC) clade indicating included taxa and known tissue expression. Black squares, expressed; grey, ambiguous; light grey, unknown. See Figure S1 for full phylogenetic trees, and expression location references. Current Biology  , R698-R699DOI: ( /j.cub ) Copyright © 2017 Elsevier Ltd Terms and Conditions
